Eww no! Rats are horrible things. When I used to share an apartment, one got into the apartment. It eventually wound up in my room where the noise of it chewing on something woke me up and I screamed loud enough to wake the entire apartment block. >.> My flatmate wasn't very happy when he came rushing into my room with a bat only to find out it was a rat.

Any random wild animal that sneaks into your house is gonna be problematic. But pet rats are some pretty freaking awesome animals. Had 5 when I was little, super friendly little guys. They loved spending time with people. The pups used to sneak into my shoes to take naps whenever I took them out to explore... absolutely adorable.
